We do. And, they will if given the opportunity.
I agree that force is the only language fascists understand, But what would preparing Canada for a US invasion look like?
No matter how much equipment we purchased, it wouldn't be enough. We would go down fighting. Half of the people here are so brainwashed, they'd be more likely to team up with the trump/putin alliance than defend Canada. It looks bad.
...
So how much should we build up? Or did you mean build up international alliances?
Both. We can build up enough to fight back with allies.
We would not get state level military support from any ally. China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, and Cuba might help us.
The type of build up that would be effective (if it could even be called that) against a US invasion would be sapping roads and bridges like Switzerland, and transforming our army into a resistance/insurgency force. Should we re allocate our spending towards these aims?
It seems a little premature.
Maybe we should actually invest in helping Canadians (and Americans) engage with and value democracy and human rights.
China, Russia, North Korea are allied with rapist donald trump. If he were to order an attack on Canada, they will side with him.
They are allied with him because he weakens America. If America invaded Canada, China and Russia would probably support both sides to make America look bad.
Naa. They are with trump and he is with them.
